Not your old Caphalon

This pan looks nice,but seems lighter,maybe thinner metal,compared to my other Caphalon pans? Just got it and used it for the first time, worked ok,time will tell!!

Useful Addition to the Kitchen

This pan is very large and the footprint on the stovetop allows for quick cooking because the food is spread out over a big space and there is even heating. Good results come from first preheating the empty pan at the temperature you wish to cook the food; the food comes out beautifully well cooked. Clean-up is just icing on the cake.

love calphalon products - fantastic quality, durable, easy to use

Great product, great price and quick delivery

Almost What I Was Expecting

I give my saute pans a hard workout and usually have to replace them every couple of years when the non-stick surface wears out and they become just too hard to cook in and keep clean. My last pan was a Calphalon as well, and it was great, served me well. The one I just bought was listed as a Calphalon, same size and price as before, so I assumed it would be a duplicate. It is not. The metal is thinner, which does affect cooking and there are hot spots. It also has a less comfortable handle, too skinny and not fully covered with the rubber-like material that does not conduct heat. The pan lid handle is also the skinny style, but that part is okay. The too-skinny pan handle makes the whole thing harder to lift than the prior heftier style. The balance seems off. However, there is a short handle on the opposite side for lifting, which is very handy. I am disappointed with the lesser quality (like the previous pan on a severe diet), but I will use this one until I use it up, just like all its predecessors. I like the high, vertical sides and the non-stick surface is very good. I expect it to last a year or two as before,so I appreciate the reasonable price. The glass lid is essential, fits snuggly, and I would not buy a pan without that feature. I just wish the pan itself was a higher gauge metal and the handle had a more ergonomic grip instead of the "stick" that it has.
